Modern motor vehicles are studies in complexity. Today’s car or motorcycle embodies technology that was unthinkable a generation ago but is now absolutely essential to achieve the performance, fuel efficiency, affordability, and quality that consumers demand. This has fundamentally transformed engineering practice as the digital revolution meets motor realities head on. Modeling software, digital control techniques, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation are now essential tools in modern design, and techniques such as model-based development have already empowered vehicle OEMs to increase design efficiency and effectiveness. But what lies ahead for vehicle engineers? This webcast offers a unique industry perspective on how engineers are currently doing design and how they’ll design in the future. Engineer Joseph Lomonaco will offer his insights based on his rich experience with Harley Davidson Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp. He is a seasoned expert in model-based vehicle design and has recently explored new possibilities for increasing design capacity for the vehicle industry. Dr. Tom Lee, Vice President of the Maplesoft Application Engineering Group, will show how advanced engineering systems can be more efficiently designed, modeled, and simulated, using a number of real-world applications from industry.
